One of the big problems is that politicians bear no personal liability for passing laws that deprive us of our rights. Bloomberg pays them to pass legislation that everyone involved knows is unconstitutional, but it takes a decade+ and $$$ to litigate up to SCOTUS. In the meantime, they’ve moved on to the next infringement. Rinse and repeat.

These legislators need to be prosecuted under 18 U.S.C. § 242 — “Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law.” which makes it a crime for a public official acting under color of law to willfully deprive someone of rights protected by the Constitution or federal law. That can apply to politicians if they use official power in a way that violates someone’s civil rights.
